Ex-Bolton boss favourite for League Two job ahead of former Leeds United and Spurs defender

Ex-Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon is the favourite for the vacancy at League Two club Leyton Orient, according to the bookmakers.

Lennon has been out of football management since leaving Scottish giants Celtic for the second time towards the end of February 2021.

The 50-year-old spent a year-and-a-half in the dugout with the Whites between October 2014 and March 2016 before departing Wanderers by mutual consent.

He has since been in management with Hibernian and most recent with Celtic, taking charge of the Glasgow side in February 2019 for a second spell in charge.

But he departed Parkhead for a second time with Celtic then 18 points behind Rangers in the Scottish top flight.

Currently, the O's are without a permanent boss following Kenny Jackett's sacking after a 2-0 loss at the hands of Bristol Rovers, with Matt Harrold in caretaker charge.

And according to the latest odds from BetVictor, Lennon is the favourite for the job at Brisbane Road.

He is marginally ahead of former Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Spurs defender Jonathan Woodgate, and Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard for the role.

Former Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson and ex-Sunderland manager Lee Johnson are more considered as outsiders at present for the job.
